Storyteller

Overview
To most, the Storyteller is just a legend. They are a person that travels the world for the sole purpose of collecting and sharing history. The Storyteller, however, is completely real. They go from place to place, gathering stories and experiences and recording them in their storybook. The storybook is a big thick book filled with, of course, stories. The Storyteller will often group up with adventuring parties and travel with them, as they can offer both protection and new experiences. The Storyteller usually has enough training to defend themselves, but may not be as proficient in combat as most warriors.

The Order of the Storytellers
At any point in time, there exists 1 Storyteller. They always take an apprentice, so that when they retire or die, someone will be able to continue as a new Storyteller. The apprentice is usually someone they encounter in their travels who shows the same hunger for lore as them. Occasionally, it has been the child of the Storyteller too. Once they have completed the training, they give up their name and inherit the storybook.

Centuries of lore can't be stored in one book, so when a storybook gets full, it is put in the hidden library and a new one is started. The location of this library is only known by the Storytellers. In the event of a catastrophe, the world's history will be preserved.
